Continental Airlines 737?

Question

Traveling with Continental from Orange County, Ca. to the country of Costa RIca. We go from Orange County to Houston then Houston to Liberia(costa rica). Just got the flight itinerary and it said the plane going from OC to Houston would be a

73-G and the plane going from Houston to Liberia would be a 737-JET. Can anyone explain what to expect, size, etc. Will there be leg room, etc.

Thanks ahead of time.

Answer 1

Don't know about you first flight but from Houston to Liberia will have marginal leg room and about a 3.5 hr, flight.  You will cross the main land to the west of C.R. and then swing around from the southwest back to the Liberia air port.  if your on the left side of the plane on final you can get some good photos. Expect a wait upon arrival as the computers seem to crash allot and they have no provision for manually checking you in.  Make sure you have a rental car lined up and that the rental company is sending someone to pick you up as it's a long walk to a rental company. Before signing for a rental vehicle take a complete walk around the vehicle with a video camera and document ALL the damage counting underneath the vehicle cause if you don't they'll hit you for "damage" upon drop off and it'll go on your insurance or from your pocket. Have a good time there, maybe we'll see you there. were going down again on the 18th of march !  If you have more questions e-mail me. PURA-VIDA !!!!!!

Answer 2

your flight to Liberia from Houston will be on a 737-800 which carries 16 in f/c and 141 in coach.  There is the normal seat and leg space for a large airplane.  There will be a movie to watch so bring your headset with double prongs preferably as there isn't any charge to use your own.  If you don't have any, there is a nominal charge of $1 for a headset and you can use them on any and all of your Continental flights.  The flight from Orange County has a capacity of 12 in f/c and 112 in coach with the same amount of space.  You will be served a complimentary breakfast on your flight from SNA, cereal and banana.  On the flight to LIR there will be a complimentary hot sandwich and a small salad and candy bar. Have a great flight.
